The sports gaming world has recently been buzzing with excitement after the success of NCAA Football 25, which has become the highest-selling sports game in the U.S. market. This has reignited hopes for the return of another beloved sports gaming franchise—NCAA Basketball.
For years, college basketball fans have missed the thrill of leading their favorite teams through March Madness and creating dynasties with legendary programs like Kentucky. NCAA Basketball 10, the last installment of the series, featured Blake Griffin on the cover, but the franchise has been absent since then, leaving a void in the gaming world.
The success of NCAA Football 25 has raised the question: Could NCAA Basketball return soon? The football game’s success is attributed to its immersive dynasty mode, allowing players to recruit and coach their teams to championship glory. The inclusion of real college teams, stadiums, and traditions has sparked nostalgia among fans, bringing them back to their college football Saturdays.
This success has led to rumors about negotiations between EA and 2K to develop a new NCAA Basketball game, possibly featuring powerhouse programs like Kentucky. Imagine guiding the Wildcats through SEC battles, recruiting top talent, and leading them to national titles at Rupp Arena. Fans could relive or rewrite Kentucky’s storied history and build a dynasty for the future.
While no official announcement has been made, the buzz around NCAA Football 25 shows there is a strong demand for college sports gaming. Fans are eager to take control of their favorite teams once again—whether that’s leading Kentucky back to glory or creating a new legacy in the world of college basketball.
